The game of tennis depends on targeted strength in the hands, forearms, and elbows. You also need
strong quads and great flexibility. And to improve the power behind your serve and return of the ball calls for strong and stable core muscles, as well as shoulder and scapula muscle strength.

The Perfect Pushup is an efficient way to enhance all these areas.

The Perfect Pushup puts a new spin on one of the oldest exercises, the pushup. Invented by someone who knows a lot about pushups, former U.S. Navy SEAL, Alden Mills, the Perfect Pushup's rotating handles allow your arms to rotate naturally when you do pushups the same way they do when you throw a punch or press up a dumb bell.

This unique feature accelerates results by engaging more muscles in the arms, chest, shoulders, and back. It also helps reduce strain on wrists and elbows, and helps to stabilize and strengthen the shoulder joint by engaging the scapular and rotator cuff muscles. An added feature of the Perfect Pushup is the unique rotation handles and a ball bearing design. They move with your arms natural motion, like when you throw a punch, improving wrist strength and flexibility while reducing risk of tennis elbow.

The Perfect Pushup is the perfect tool for accelerating your New Year's resolution — getting fit for the courts!
